Question

Answer 1

you may have to visit a doctor,but beforethat try some cinnamon powder one teaspoon with one tablespoon of honey ,have it slightly warm,abt twice daily for 3 days

if u can find drumstick leaves take a handful,grind it with a v.little calcium what they use in paan shops,i mean the chunna and apply to your throat on the outside and wash after onehour,but the amt of calcium ahould be less or it will cause blisters

Answer 2

It sounds like you have strep and need antibiotics. You could try gargling warm salty water (don't swallow!).  Then maybe try some liquid tylenol if you dont want to see a doc.

Answer 3

First of all do not take extended doses of aspirin, especially for a throat ache. It can really mess with your stomach and liver. I have ulcers because of my chronic tylenol use as a teen, (I was trying to be a ballet dancer).

Drink tea, and broth. Eat nothing overly salted, spiced, sour, or with a rough texture, like trisects.

It does however sound like strep throat. Go to the doctor immediately if yo think its strep. I was a very sickly child, living in the northwest with really bad asthma. Strep throat can easily turn into pneumonia. And that can get serious. h**l Bernie Mac died from it two days   doctor will give you some antibiotics to make your throat feel better. And a cough medicen too, that stuff will knock your pain out. Good luck.

I hope you feel better, throat aches are the worst, especially in the summer time. I hate being sick in the summer.
